Not a real movie guy, but as I am not familiar with John's work, could you please name a few recent (last 10 years)movies he either directed or produced, would like to "see for myself"--

I surmise Stevie Spielberg is not in that same mileu as John- in "Saving Private Ryan"-- the left-handed Ranger Pvt. (played by Barry Pepper) is in a tower, sniping German troops from the higher advantage point snipers prefer-- he fires 8 rounds from his modified and scoped 1903 BA- without reloading- and doing this from the "southpaw" side, taking the rifle out of his shoulder to work the RH Bolt- a 1903 only holds 5 rounds-- RWTF
